The body of Mrs. Neebe was conveyed
to Mueller's hall. corner North avenue
and edgwick street, on Sunday fore
noon and the friends of the deceased
together with the labor organizations Of
the city congregated at that point to dc
honor to the departed.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with profnsion Of fi,wers, notices,
banners % AID other emblems. tokens Of
esteem and affection from friends. Paul
Grottkau of Milwaukee delivered an
address in the German language and
there was also speaking1n English. Sew.
eral German singing societies rendered
appropriate selections inside the hall,
while fully twenty bands discoursed SOL
emn music in the vicinity and along the
line of march.
The demonstration was the largest ct
the kind ever held in this city. 4
A meeting Of The Central Labor Union
